a bruising line-up??

so it has been confirmed....... spanish bad boy alonso joins ferrari next year.....

let's not forget, the last time alonso had a team-mate who was as fast as he is, it created problems that became TOO HUGE for anyone to handle.... and the team imploded!!

so he went back to flavio, who made sure that his favourite will always be number 1 in his team.....

now for 2010, how will ferrari handle both alsonso and massa...???? let's see.....

and one more thing, all ferrari-kimi raikkonen apparel is obsolete from now on haha........ so how are they going to clear stock..??? put them on cheap sale..??

if you dun mind the older stuff, you can already order this "retro" cap for 5 euro dollars.....

just having fun reading about the new S4

haha reading article makes me wanna have a go in the new S4...... well you can have a go too...... go on, it's an entertaining read.....

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/28/review-2010-audi-s4-brings-back-the-boost-gives-s-a-reason-f/

with that we can safely conclude that TURBO is back with a vengeance....... either on audis, bmws or mercedes, turbo is going to be everywhere haha....

austria version...

redbull from austria? GOOD.!

redbull from thailand? NO GOOD!! too sweet and too yucky.....

bye bye......

ahh finally the grand prix weekend has come and gone......

so it's back to work on monday....

YAWN....

time to go to bed...

obese..??

this is what i call a FAT EVO...

yeah this is what happens when a mitsubishi evo had too much fast food i.e. burgers and fries haha.....

what works for the lancer, lancer ralliart and evo obviously dun work for the outback...... so it's time to go back to the drawing board.....

OUCH... !

they tried da best.....

hmmmm

i think the tag-line for this singapore gp 2009 edition watch is "nothing else comes close to this ugly watch" .....

seriously guess and marc ecko can do better than this........

came and gone....

well well...

the S$9-million toto lottery is over....

and no wins and no prizes won... so sad..... cos that equates to no paddock club tickets, no GTR and no rm011, haha.....

congrats to the 3 lucky winners of the top prize

as for the rest of us? life goes on....... sigh

cheeky chicky taxi driver....

look at the message on the rear windscreen:

"caution

this taxi makes frequent stops"

haha.... i wonder what kinda stops he makes....??? stopping for no good reasons too..???

anyway it does provide a little bit of lighthearted homour during the afternoon drive.... so a thumb-up!!

mountain tortise....

why would anyone wanna hold a concert on the hill ...???

is that the only place we have..???

the bad ass organisation only serves to tarnish the sg experience haha.....

what else...

so instead of F1 ROCKS.... it became NO ROCKS..... or should i say NO SOUND?? ooppsss.....

added twists....

since the designs for most of the singapore GP merchandise and t-shirts are so so so boring, i suggest they do a limited edtion runs to relive the CRASHGATE fiasco.......

how about t-shirts with the words:

RENAULT, CHEATS!!

NELSON THE CRASHER!!

CRASH & WIN!! CHEAT & WIN!!

NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE TO ......CRASHING!!!

wahahahahahah so shiok.... they could also spice up the designs with pictures of the main players..... that will be SOOOOO COOL and INTERESTING.....

the lucky 10.....

oh gosh....... it's another LE edition but ...... this time there's abit of difference in the execution cos hey hey there are only 10 pieces..!!!

i am quite sure at press time, all 10 are already accounted for...... so the rest of us can only admire the picture..... or go for the regular edition.......

indeed over the years there have been many LE for the rm011...... of course there are some winners, in particular the singapore gp edition and the chronopassion black edition etc

in comparison with the rest, the le mans edition looks abit muted ....... and so the regular edition remains the best bet at the most reasonable price.....

turbo copy

you've gotta give it to the taiwanese.........

the speed that they come up with alternatives to what the japanese can offer for automative accessories is quite admirable.... but you can also count on them to bring down the costs significantly to seriously threaten the innovators....

during its intial launch here, the pivot 3 drive was priced at S$500++ ..... and gradually it came down to S$400++.....

the taiwanese are selling their offerings at less than half the price....... !!!!

SO BEAT IT..!!

an oyaide topping.....

when dealing with accessories, it's never a bad idea to play around...... one has to find out what works and what doesnt work through trial and error......

after trying a few other positions, one of the oyaide insulators ended up on top of another oyaide acclaimed product.... so it became an oyaide topping haha...........

never be shy to try and try and try......

spotted....

during my own little recce of the areas outside the f1 circuit park this afternoon, i saw fernando alonso and wife just outside ritz carlton......... since he was accompanied with 2 minders, i think he's not feeling 100% while in singapore.... perhaps he's afraid that some locals might ASK him to return the winner's trophy he won last year......

on the other hand, another person was out at city hall to catch the crowd........ he's none other than Dr Chee Soon Juan..... guess what? he was wearing bright red !! but of course that has nothing to do with ferrari cos red happens to be SDP's colour too.......

hmmm, i wonder if he's catching the race fever ..????

no problemo......

true to my expectations, the most recent fuel mileage has dropped off a little...... and i knew it was down to the way i drove for the last tankful......

i cant help it when it's so fun to drive ....... errrr i realised that extra dollars and cents were wasted when i stepped on the gas more but it's so FUN.....

puma ferrari merchandise....

with the fate and future of kimi raikkonen hanging in the air, it's prudent not to BUY any ferrari and kimi apparel and shoes......

so hang in there while the ppl at maranello settles the choice of THE other driver......

bewareeeeeeeeeee.......

time to change .... my puma SPEED CAT...

my trusty pair of black puma speedcat in suede is beginning to give way... especially at the rear where the heel cup was glued to the shoe upper.....

i cant remember how much i have put them to good use but i guess nothing lasts forever....... so when it's time to finally say goodbye, it also means that i can start looking for a replacement .....

somehow when it comes to shoes, they fall apart pretty quickly when they are neglected...... the glue and joints harden over a period of time and then disintegrates.....

well let's not lament about when it's time to go shopping again haha........ and from the latest offerings at puma.com, there are a few choices worthy of consideration.......

future cat m1.....

if you like white sneakers, then you MUST look at the future cat m1..... i especially like the toe cap, very COOL .....

millennius

this pair is not too bad either......

speed cat

between the millennuis and speed cat, i would go for the latter........ cos the puma band looks better in white than in silver....... and the speed cat has the shape that i prefer....

but of course i know i have recently bought 2 pairs of puma LIFT racer......... errrr maybe i should put my plans on hold haha......

more the meets the FIA eye....???

is the plan that simple as the FIA made it out to be...??? and is flavio B the MOST guilty party..???

to be frank, i am not sure at all........ and nowadays i seldom believe what i hear and read; the world is far too complex to be made out in black or white........usually the truth is somewhere in between.......

anyway you can be doubly sure that renault and nelson piquet got off TOO LIGHTLY........ were this to be a court of law, i have no doubt they will be FINISHED......

and since this happened in singapore, will the authorities intervene..????? singapore was cheated.... singaporeans were cheated and whole wide world was cheated........

so let's get the police to get into the picture....... and DIG OUT THE DIRTY BITS!!!!

i remember that years ago, many local and foreign footballers were investigated, tried and found guilty of corruption and match-fixing....... so in this case, we had a BIG FIASCO = match-fixing too.....

what are we waiting for....???

charge them in court and send them to JAIL..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh oh..... still up?

i have to wake up at 4....

but right now i am still awake....

oh oh.... it's going to be a zombie tuesday......

every time i need to wake up early i cant sleep cos i slept TOO MUCH the day before haha.....

not cool....

did the browse the selection of the official merchandise for the singtel singapore GP...???

come on go take a look.....

http://www.singaporegp.sg/merchandise/index.php

the designs are really not cool at all......

some ppl may buy but i cant find anything that's worthy of purchase.....

have you ever .....???

have you ever come across such a possibility....????

that as you leave your home for work on a particular day, whatever you are going to do or not do later shall be the mistake that will end your career...????

most people might answer no....... but when it happens, it is really very sad.......

you know it could happen to anyone..... could be race car drivers, footballers, commercial divers.... anyone.....

sigh......

god bless....

left out...

now that champions league games are no longer available on starhub, it feel very weird to be left out on match days.....

no more late night magic and drama on tv........

DAMN free-market competition.... haha....

DAMN....

bak chang....

suddenly i recall LKK telling me this.....

his friend only knows of duan wu jie aka dragon boat festival as BAK CHANG jie.....

errr... i was thinking what happened to his friend..???

haha.... sorry i cant help but laugh...

the oyaide finishing touch....

after using these for a few days, i gotta let u know that these are not magical buttons or carbon tablets..... they cannot and are not going to make your system sound like a million dollars......

what they do is to lay the finishing touches for an already competent audio system ....... helping it sound more open, dynamic and life-like...... and giving it some finesse at the frequency extremes to let you to hear a little more details .....

depending on your needs, one could tune the end results by choosing either the carbon side or the metallic-carbon end..... feel free to experiment as there no one right way .... remember, dun expect them be perform magic and you will be pleasantly surprised....... hope too much and only disappointment will greet you after trying it.....

i think x audio is offering this at S$110 right now and it may be a good time to reward yourself and components with these goodie tablets.....

arriving very soon......

the world has become much much smaller and very much more connected now that the internet is a part of our lives...... and so we know the JLC NSA is already at dealers in the USA and europe.....

very soon it will be coming to singapore.......... and if you like alarm watches, you probably should not miss your watch to get this....

although it's limited to 1500 pcs, there should be sufficient numbers to meet the worldwide demand......

well from past experience, JLC limited edition watches are not exactly the most sought-after timepieces .... unlike examples like AP offshore limited pieces......

name the wall.....

to make our memory last through the times, we should name the wall next to turn 17 "the great wall of piquet".... that will surely make the name sticky for a long long time haha.....

and of course, the first every night race will forever be remember as "the race that never was".... so much for singapore's wish to be the showcase of formula1..... in the end, we got more than what we bargained for....... not only the glamour and success but also the biggest fiasco aka CRASHGATE of all times......

OUCH.....!!

who is dreaming?

right now i am using my phone, which is connected to my local network, to update this post.

it's abit slow and cumbersome but with a little effort, i can still depend on the keyboard haha.

now my fingers are tired .. so i gotta stop now

win the TICKETS 3..!!

ok race fans, here's another tip....

from 18 sep onwards, spend $300 at ion orchard to qualify for a lucky draw...... where u can win tickets to the PADDOCK CLUB..!!!!

yes yes PADDOCK CLUB..!!!! PADDOCK CLUB..!!!! PADDOCK CLUB..!!!!

dun miss this chance ..!!!

good luck boys and gals...!!

overheard....

overheard this afternoon........

this guy was telling the rest that he owns a rm012...and rm009..... and also the rm011 singapore gp edition...... and etc.....

hmmmm..... so shiok.....

haha..... some ppl just have the luck ...err i mean the money rather....

got me thinking: how long do i need to save up to buy a S$300,000 watch...????

sigh, it's too painful to even think about it.......

what does it look like...??

the more i looked at it, the more i think it looks like a fish that's smiling at me.... hmmmm somehow it reminds me of the shark that likes to smile in Finding Nemo.... haha

now this is my favourite part of the car........ THE DIFFUSOR..!! LOOK AT THE HUGE DIFFUSOR..!!!

AWESOME....!!!

another contest...

my pick for the winner?? lewis hamilton.......

for the past few races, the mclaren has shown great pace both in qualifying and race days..... and with hamilton in the car, you know he's going to put in 150% with his never-say-die attitude....

so he's my choice... (even though i am no fan of lewis hamilton haha).....

too confident.......???

briatore should have known better to sack nelsonho piquet under such acrimonious circumstances in the mid of the season..... anyone who was forced out has nothing to lose by going the kiss-and-tell route....

so he can only blame himself now that he has to quit renault in a no better way than nelsonho piquet himself.....

however, we must not forget another key issue, which is..... nelson piquet, based on his results for the past 1 and a half years, is not yet formula 1 quality.......

speechless..........

i was left utterly speechless when i saw this..... certainly it doesnt take a genius to come out with this.....

absolutely NUTS...... and even CAPT JACK SPARROW will not be wearing this even though he's NUTS....

2 exemptions......

so if renault is found guilty of fixing a race, will the entire race result and points awarded be cancelled..????

haha if that happens, do you UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES..???

that means lewis hamilton will not be the drivers' world champion of 2008...!!

haha...

but i doubt FIA will let them happen......

hmmm ... in a typical cheating case, nothing can be legal anyway.......

it's VOID.....

going all the way..???

now that the KW is here at a super attractive deal ... well should i forget about gab, HKS and tein.... ??

the latter 3 are all below S$2,000 while the KW is materially more expensive...... however i have reliable reports and feedback that KW is worth paying for....

if i am driving an evo i should not hesitate at all..... but for a midpriced saloon car with a little sporty aspiration, is it worth the effort and investment to put in one of the BEST suspension systems available on the market..???

hmmmm.... more thinking is needed....

vege a wash....

someone from the rolex forums discovered a simple and effective way to clean his watches.......

guess what, he uses vege-wash!!

YUP!! vege-wash! which is the gel that many housewives use to clean and rinse fruit and vegetables.....

tickled by curiosity, i went to the kitchen and did what i have to do...... USE VEGE WASH on my watch that i was wearing..... errr.... of cos it came out sparkling clean and streak-free haha and since vege wash is safe for produce, it is surely safe for watches..... it even smells SOOOOO NICE......!!

thanks for the tip haha......

no need for Veeeeee Power

shell keeps sending me sms reminders that during the weekends, motorists can get vpower at the price of octane 98 petrol.......

what's the point when i am topping up with octane 92 ????

i'd rather save the few dollars and revv the throttle more for the fun factor..... haha

if only they sell vpower at octane 95 price, then perhaps i will consider.....

so think about it ok??

all packed up...... for singapura...

immediately after the race at monza the teams have all packed up...... and soon they will bye bye to europe and descent upon singapore for 2nd time in a row......

after so many races this season, i still find it strangely unsettling to see the brawn GP team and drivers fighting for honours at the top.....

it was only 12 months ago where felipe massa was battling lewis hamilton for the drivers' world championship and now? no massa for the rest of the season and lewis hamilton has lost all mathematical chances of defending his world title.........

will i be at marina bay this year?...... well i am kinda undecided at this time........ well if i could get my hands on THE PADDOCK CLUB!!! I WILL GO..!!

cheers....

take the chance.....

chances do not come easy

but some ppl waste the opportunities to impress when they have it....

ryan babel can whine all he can but he seldom delivers when he's playing..... so he has only himself to blame.....

unlike the dutchman, yossi benayoun is poles apart....... whenever rafa benitez calls upon him to start or from the bench as a substitute, he puts in 100%...... well he may not be a very handsome man but he always lets his feet do the talking..............what an awesome footballer he is .. great job.....!!

start early....

every year i'd tell myself.... i will prepare for the annual fitness test early..... and most of the time, it's all about last minute work and struggles haha......

maybe i should have an early dinner and go for a jog in the evenings....... the afternoons now are just way TOO HOT TOO HOT........

i have to overcome the lethargy if i am to pass ...... and i know there's no replacement for training and conditioning.......

so it's a matter of when to start......

where's your watch...??

surprisingly the good old boy of formula 1 doesnt wear his watch when he's racing.... cos no one needs to know the time during the race haha.....

a few others like massa and trulli cant do without their watches even while racing..... and that's a tough test on movements due to the tremendous G forces when they accelerate, brake and turn .....

swop the footers....

the weather is abit haywire this afternoon..... NUTS!!

when i was walking over for lunch, it was SOOOO SUNNY ... so much so that while waiting for my chicken cutlet i was already perspirating ....... but within 15 mins and before i could finish, the skies turned gray and it was drizzling.......... absolutely NUTS.... !!

this episode convinced me that i should just stay home and listen to music .....which is just the right time for me to play around with the oyaide insulator....

before introducing new variables into the system, i'd better rearrange what i have.....since i have a few extra TAOC SBL-13MT lying around why not just put a couple under the MTB-6?? ..... so it's about the onboard spikes vs TAOC footers..... so is there any difference? errr... too busy enjoying the music to bother haha......

right now as i am listening, i'm still thinking of where to put the oyaide insulators.... haha.... a case of too many options????

a new oyaide foray..???

all along i only knew that oyaide was more into cables and connectors...... until today.... when i realised that they have branched into tuning accessories as well....

so they call this new product their tuning CHIP..... and each chip has 30 layers of carbon fibre material......... since i am a curious one, i have to try this..... whether it works or not, only a trial over time will tell....

and the price is quite reasonable (i.e. for a made-in-japan audio accessory)....

i'll give an update once i have spend more time with them......

win the TICKETS 2..!!

aha..!!....

wanna tickets to the f1 rocks concert..??? especially when the tickets are not cheap...... so visit oneshift.com to take part now..!!!

some teins

i had to rush out of the house this afternoon cos when hunger hits me, i just to have to find food at double-quick time...!! haha couldnt resist when the feeling came.....

but of cos the next question is what to have for lunch....... hmmm and to make things difficult for myself, i'd decided not to have anything that's near my place cos i am kinda sick of eating at the very few food stores in the neighbourhood.....

sooooo i gotta summon some ounces of brain juice to think through the possibilites.... in the end i was back at bedok south for the fishball mee done in traditional teochew style........ YUMMY...!!

since i was in the area, i also dropped by ST powered to check out the tein super street coilover suspension........ the price? about S$1852 with installation, alignment and GST.....

sounds good huh.....

dumping or flooding....??

time waits for no man or in this case, no watch haha.....

in recent days and weeks, the number of pam 312 watches put up for sale is beginning to dilute the strong asking prices that were prevalent only about a month ago......

of cos the very first few pieces commanded a small premium at about S$10,500...... then it was closer to S$10,000......

these days? well, pieces from overseas are available at lower than the singapore list price......

isnt that cool..??? YEAH!! great for the buyer....... and i am sure the production volume will catch up with the demand in time to come...

by then even ADs will have to sell at a small discount.....

wanna fly?

i am so inspired when i saw this picture of the new MB SLS AMG......... cos it looks like the car is go to take off, haha.....

the front is all retro..... but the rear just does not gel with the design theme.....

sorry MB.... you'd better learn from the italians ...

they can even make a small car really sexyyyyyy.......... like what u see below:

finally SOLD..!!

yeah yeah..!!

managed to sell my vav amplifier and mac audio subwoofer...!!!

YESSSSSSSS !!

thank you !!

and now for the CK watch....................!! GO GO GO...!!

suspension systems for cy4a....

just gotta the news from my friend that the tein ss system for lancer is $1850, excluding installation.......

i guess everything could add up to $2000 by the time the kit is up the car and proper alignment is done...

however, if your wallet is deep enough, it's good news to know that there is a kit from kw as well....... estimated price? errr.... how about S$2600???

the backup plan is to fall on gab......... but from what i know, it's out of stock....... whether it's due to overwhelming response or low production numbers, no one can tell me.....

next alternative..??? BC from taiwan at about S$1500 including installation......

hmmmm........ what should you do???

ai yah yah no more...

oh yes

finally echoloft forum is back in service.......

well i hope it stays that way haha....

welcome back..!!

win the TICKETS..!!

TEAM PANASONIC TOYOTA PADDOCK CLUB TICKETS!!!!!!!!!

YES!!! PADDOCK CLUB!! PADDOCK CLUB!! ..... so this is no joke...!!!

PADDOCK CLUB!! PADDOCK CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pearls and beans.....

i love soya beancurd..... and i love pearls......

so when put together, it's sooooo delicious........

out of a sudden i had a craving for snacks...... and when i saw the offerings at the store, i couldnt help but wanna have a go at it....

thumbs up..!! especially for the soya beancurd....... smooth, full of soya goodness and very fragrant...... most importantly, the amount of syrup was perfect.... not too sweet at all....

all for S$1.60......

YUMMY....!!

ulu or what....

what nonsense...???

if they are talking about using its abbreviation, then it should be MCC for Malaysian Chicken Curry or MC Curry...... so where did the "Mc" come about...??

although McDonald's cannot be allowed to have a blanket monopoly on the prefix Mc, the defence put up by McCurry on its abbreviation is............ SHALLOW...

no one will buy that argument......

ai yah yah

oh no oh no....

why is echoloft forum down again...???

seems like the problem is getting very frequent huh......

can we do something about it..???

he went shopping....

before the weekend, our friend mentioned that he's finally going to get a new phone.......

much earlier he was interested in the htc diamond 2 but recently he has set his sights on the samsung omnia 2.... a new entry that's pretty feature-rich.....

i have nothing against the phone but why did the koreans come up with such a name ....... omnia??? what's that ...??? simi lai eh..?? diamond or pro is a thousand time better sounding haha.....

other than the meaningless name, the phone's pretty COOL....... quite obvious as our friend was so engrossed with his new toy that he wasnt interested to eat when da food arrived ...

haha.....

bamboo plus charcoal....

ever since i'd heard of this, i've been wanting to get it.....

errrr so what can it do??? from what i know, it should be chucked in the refrigerator or wardrobe ...i.e. a confined space where its odour-eliminating properties will be most effective....

already residing in my cupboard is a hippo moisture-absorber and with the new charcoal odour-eliminator, they can work hand in hand to keep all my clothes FRESH..!!

at $2 a pop why not.....

cap's ON... more on ralliart's radiator cap...

will using a ralliart radiator cap make any difference to the car...??? that was the question bothering me as i sought to find out impact of replacing the original cap......

after a simple 1-minute job to put it on, it was left to a on-the-road test....... alas the weather was cool and breezy..... and it wasnt representative of a typical HOT afternoon in singapore....

in the end, the car felt pretty much the same......

except the aircon.... which became more powerful yesterday ....as to why??... i have no idea.......

still not 100% hopeless....

according to the report, the driver mistook the pavement for the road...... and of cos he drove onto the pavement....well this is nothing ..... cos a few years ago, a taxi driver drove right into a swimming pool!!! and he thought it was THE road.....

haha.....

a chunk of rolex platinum....

assuming one has a liking for the less common ....

and he would probably eliminate steel and gold from his choices of material for his timepiece.....

i think this means that platinum could emerge as one of his hallowed picks....

no one comes close to rolex when we are talking about the sheer numbers of platinum watches being made and for S$69,937, you can choose the rolex day-date II in platinum and ice-blue dial (2nd from left in the pic)....

certainly it makes a cool timepiece for a towkay (boss in hokkien dialect)..... best for making business talk ..... and not only at the golf course but also any coffee joints.....

for a little more money and power.....

for about US$400, there's a lot of options when it comes to used brembo brake calipers......

upfront it all looks simple but as the calipers are designed to fit evo 8/9/x, a customised bracket is necessary to make the calipers work in my car.....

the cost to machine a good quality bracket will brake or break the budget haha..... at least need to set aside close to S$1000 for a set of 4 (front and rear).....

hhmmmmmm

top cap

10 dollars????

yeah not bad at all............ quality and feel is good and although it comes only in red, it's a value-for-money buy.....

no longer new..... but

as newness overcomes the present and the old, there comes a time when even the most beautiful things we behold now will have to move aside for the latest and brightest.....

so even though the 360 is no longer a coveted piece of machinery, it is still a ferrari nonetheless..... and is still good enough to catch the attention of a few...... furthermore it doesnt need the tagline such as the ultimate driving machine to be attractive for the many motorsport fans around the world....

which is why giancarlo fisichella could not say NO when ferrari knocks on the door...... such is the appeal of the marque of the prancing horse..... no sane italian can resist the lure of racing for ferrari.....

just a ralliart CAP....

out of curiosity i decided to take another look at what the ralliart pit is offering this weekend.... in case i missed out the goodies last week so here's the last opportunity ....

oh my there was a good lunch-time crowd already there when i arrived....... but since i was no longer interested in apparels, i could stay away from the hungry beasts who gathered around the t-shirt and polo-short areas.....

after a couple of rounds, i'd settled on 2 items..... the radiator cap at $25 and a bright red lancer ex cap at $10......

cheap cheap.......

more ralliart...???

on the papers today: the ralliart warehouse clearance sale is still on....!!

from what i saw last week, it was quite a disorganised mess so i wonder if they worked on it to improve for the coming days....

too bad there wasnt much on offer for the lancer ex....... but if you are driving a cs3, there are some goodies there.... i especially like the fuel cap cos it looks like a thousand-dollar accessory haha....

if you have the time, might as well go down today......

more fun....

driving is more enjoyable nowadays....

cos during acceleration, the fun factor is being boosted by the pivot 3 drive......

and when it comes to braking, the steel braided lines allow the driver to brake later and harder ..... making it safer.....

so driving is becoming more and more fun........

stabbing on sponge...

ok finally the brake lines are ready and over the course of a good hour or two, they are finally up on the car.....

after bleeding the brake system, the pedal feel is awesome...!!.....

of cos the real test is a good stomp on the brakes when the car is on the road..... and this time, there's no doubt of what a set of good steel braided brake lines can do for your confidence and also safety....

you should seriously consider doing it.... especially for your own sake.....

good months....

when it comes to the months of a year, i like july and august quite a big deal....

cos there are 31 days in both the 2 months.... which means i do not have to adjust the date for my watches haha...

aha the next adjustment is on 30 sep...... yahoooooo...!!
